Used 2020 Nissan NV Passenger Van Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2020 Nissan NV Passenger is a full-size van with seating for up to 12 passengers. It is offered in three trim levels — S, SV and SL — with a choice of two engines. The S and the SV use a 4.0-liter V6 (261 horsepower, 281 lb-ft of torque) paired with a five-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. Standard on the SL is a 5.6-liter V8 (375 hp, 387 lb-ft) that is mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission.

The base S trim is outfitted with three rows of configurable bench seats, power windows and door locks, keyless entry, cruise control, a rearview camera, a 7-inch display, Bluetooth and a four-speaker stereo. The SV adds some rear parking sensors, a power driver's seat, a center console, additional 12-volt power outlets, overhead lighting for the passenger rows, and an upgraded six-speaker stereo.

The top-of-the-line SL trim is only available with the V8 engine. It adds foglights, front parking sensors, leather upholstery, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control for the front seats, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Oddly, the SL reverts to a smaller 5.8-inch touchscreen, but it does come with a navigation system, NissanConnect mobile apps and satellite radio. The outside mirrors are heated and extendable for towing, and the SL receives a Class IV receiver hitch, front tow hooks, prewiring for a seven-pin connector, and a brake controller.

Just one option is available: the Navigation package. It upgrades the SV with the SL's navigation system, a 5.8-inch display and NissanConnect.

Which NV Passenger trim does Edmunds recommend?

The needs of full-size van buyers vary wildly, so it's difficult to recommend a specific variant. The standard S trim is pretty spartan, so we suggest stepping up to the SV offers a good amount of features such as more 12-volt outlets and a better stereo. We also suggest skipping the V6 and opting for the 5.6-liter V8.
